Starrett 55039 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x4x0.875 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 55039 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar made to AISI Type C1018 material specification. It measures 24 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 0.875 inches thick, and weighs 23.8 pounds. C1018 is a general-purpose low carbon steel known for consistent machinability, weldability, and surface finish — a standard choice for fabrication, tooling fixtures, jigs, and structural components. Tolerances are tightly held: length tolerance is plus 0.625 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and thickness and square tolerance are each plus or minus 0.001 inches. Machinists, fabricators, and millwrights are the primary installers and end users of this stock material.

This flat stock is suited for general industrial and commercial fabrication applications where a readily machinable, weldable mild steel is required. Typical uses include machine bases, brackets, wear plates, tooling components, and custom structural members. The consistent dimensional tolerances make it appropriate for applications where close-fit mating surfaces or precise stock removal is part of the machining process. It is sold individually as a single piece per package.
